This Absolutely Stunning 3D Tribute to Hayao Miyazaki Is Well Worth Your Time

Hayao Miyazaki is a legendary filmmaker in Japan thanks to his animated movies like My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, Howls Moving Castle, and others. This tribute uses some of his most beloved characters, transforms them into 3D, and then places them in an interesting world.

Legendary Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki has created some of the most beautiful animated films—but this video tribute takes some of Miyazaki’s most-loved characters and puts them into a 3D world. The result gives you Miyazaki like you’ve never seen him before.

Vimeo user and animator Dono made this incredible video, which combines the beautiful piano work of Joe Hisaishi with extracted clips and characters from a plethora of Miyazaki films, from Spirited Away to My Neighbor Totoro to Porco Rosso, placing them into specially created 3D environments made by Dono.

It is absolutely stunning and a wonderful tribute to this exceptional mind.
